As you can tell my letter is horribleee that’s because I haven’t use any notebooks since I graduated, also I don’t know how Koreans can write so nicely with three blocks!! I write like a toddler but I’ll still try my best. Happy Sunday

May 17, 2018 is the pinning ceremony! Which I’m really excited about “Pinning ceremonies date back to the 12th century. This longstanding tradition symbolizes your initiation into the brother/sisterhood of nursing “ @the.traveling.nurse explains & talks about her experience at her pinning ceremony and graduation the day after in her blog which you should check out. •

My first little jalapeño pepper sprouted!
Arugula was the first plant I ever cultivated to get in my belly. I was excited when the plants were ready to harvest, but that soon turned to dismay when I realized my entire “crop” which I had been faithfully tending for 2-3 months on my apartment balcony would be wiped out after making…two salads.
Since then, and until I have a yard, I’m focusing on plants that I only need bits and pieces of here and there—mostly herbs, and now, these peppers.
I’m thinking these will go well in chili, Korean stews, soy braised ginger chicken (닭찜), dipping sauces…
Gardening is one of a few little hobbies that are helping me to feel balanced throughout this whole med school process...
